SO IT BEGINS

Place your bid now for an ad on Rocketboom! I'd hoped to interview them about this when we were on vacation, but never found a good time. The especially innovative part of this is that RB will be making an original ad for the winner each day, running after the show.

I've bid up to around $6000 so far, but it's easy to bid things up this early in the auction. Any guesses on what it will end up going for? I remember reading that the ads may be worth as much as $8000/episode, so 5 ads = $40,000?

$6000, wow. i wanted to be the first to bid, just as a symbolic gesture.

andrew said in june 05 that a "reasonable assessment" of the value of Rocketboom is somewhere between $2000 and $10,000 a day/episode. they're traffic is significantly higher now, but i think they'd still be happy in that range. good luck with your ad, i was thinking of doing the same with Minnesota Stories.

A similar ad format would be a great fit for MNStories. We're figuring out that it's pretty much impossible to generate reasonable ad revenue from ads on the same page as a video that are not in the video itself.
